as a note that might help working out what difference existed in the settings for the two PDFs:

The second, older, PDF that seems to have "properly sized" highlights uses a different font and displays horrid kerning while the first PDF displays very nice kerning. This makes it seem that at some point there was a font substitution. This likely has occured in the PDF reading app when either there was no embedded font or the embedded font couldn't be used.
